a space for millennial women

Take a moment and think about yourself at the age of 6: Where were you? What were you like - funny, quiet, serious, outgoing? What did you like doing? What were the messages that your parents/teachers/friends told you (smart, kind, stupid, silly)?

In our world today where productivity is the gold star we’re all rewarded for - it can feel like every day is a constant battle to getting sh*t done. And that line of work never ends.

The most common question that I get is: what do you eat in a day? It’s understandable. As overachieving little humans, it’s really tempting to want to know exactly what you should do, eat, drink, think to feel good.

My barometer for a good workout always hinged on the question: How much did I sweat? No matter if I spent the morning in a power Vinyasa class or ended my evening with Soulcycle – it seemed like I was constantly pushing myself to train like I was preparing for the 2022 Olympics.

In our world today, workouts are a form of social currency. Are you a Soulcycle lady or Barry’s dude? Do you enjoy more chill workouts like Pilates, or intense cardio at Equinox?

When I first entered my twenties, I began to realize that being skinny and being healthy weren’t one in the same. I went through a long period of time where being “healthy” meant looking good. It meant deprivation. It meant starvation. It meant 14-mile runs. It meant numbers and sizes and mirrors.

Can you be lonely if you’re in a state of constant connection? This question has been pulsing through my mind as of late. Because, I can’t remember a time when I was more connected.

I will be the first to admit - I never (NEVER!) would have thought that I'd be able to go vegan and not have a drink. and i did it 99.9% of the time.

We hear it all the time: get at least 8 hours of sleep. It's "good" for you. But, in our overscheduled and excessively "busy" world, it seems like there is never enough time to do all of the things we need. And so, sleep is our first thing to go.
